The video shows someone testing the user experience but what about a structured functionality test amongst a set of devices. If I were using the service I would like to provide a checklist and see you go through that checklist on a set of devices and OS versions that I would provide.
The guaranteed video of the testing process is an interesting idea - it's a lot slower to review video testing on the developer's side, but having video really would have helped clear up some of the issues that were reported to us.
The main problems we had with uTest were 1) the inconsistent tester quality and 2) the horrible test cycle management interface. It seems you could easily beat #1, and #2 is just some coding away.

As long as everyone complains about Android fragmentation, I think you will have a market. If I was you I would improve the video.
